Description

This 2-piece collection of authentic vintage automobilia features two iconic names in American tire history: Kelly Tires and Firestone. The first piece is a rare electric desk clock manufactured by Sessions, measuring 5 3/4 inches in diameter. Encased in a miniature "Super Armor Trac" rubber tire, the clock features a gold-tone bezel and a clean face with stylized numerals. This functional piece of mid-century marketing remains in good working order, a significant detail for collectors of early 1950s service station memorabilia.

The second item is a quintessential 1970s promotional piece: a Firestone "Steel Radial 500" glass ashtray. Measuring 6 inches in diameter, the heavy clear glass insert is nestled within a detailed miniature rubber tire representing Firestone’s famous radial line from that era. Both pieces are in remarkable vintage condition, with the rubber remains supple and free of the common dry-rotting or cracking often found in automotive collectibles of this age.

Spanning roughly three decades of automotive history, this set offers a nostalgic look at the evolution of tire technology and brand marketing. From the post-war charm of the Sessions/Kelly clock to the rugged, industrial feel of the Firestone radial ashtray, these items are perfect for a "man cave," garage display, or a dedicated collection of tire manufacturer advertisements. Together, they represent a well-preserved slice of 20th-century Americana.
